Radiation

Radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium. Some types of radiation are electromagnetic radiation (such as radio waves..), particle radiation (such as alpha radiation), acoustic radiation (such as ultrasound) and gravitational radiation. Radiation can be ionizing or non-ionizing depending on the energy of the radiated particles. Ionizing radiation carries more than 10 eV, which is enough to ionize atoms and molecules, and break chemical bonds. This is an important distinction due to the large difference in harmfulness to living organisms. The standard SI units for radiation are gray per second (Gy/s). This Radiation converter allows you to convert attogray/second (aGy/s), centigray/second (cGy/s), decigray/second (dGy/s), dekagray/second (daGy/s), exagray/second (EGy/s), femtogray/second (fGy/s), gigagray/second (GGy/s), gray/second (Gy/s), hectogray/second (hGy/s), joule/kilogram/second (J/kg/s), kilogray/second (kGy/s), megagray/second (MGy/s), microgray/second (µGy/s), milligray/second (mGy/s), nanogray/second (nGy/s), petagray/second (PGy/s), picogray/second (pGy/s), rad/second (rad/s), rem/second (rem/s), sievert/second (Sv/s), teragray/second (TGy/s), watt/kilogram (W/kg), among other units related to Radiation.
